[edit] Sea Islands Hurricane

I wrote a separate article on the 1893 Sea Islands Hurricane before I knew this page existed. Not sure if that article should be merged in here or if this article should just link to it. Jdorje 02:36, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wild Season

Am I the only person who thinks this season was insane? A hurricane hit New York City, 2 killed a combined 3,000-4,000 people in the US. Two major hurricanes affect the same area. 4 hurricanes were active at once, one of only 2 times that's happened in recorded history (1998 being the other time, this event nearly occured in 1961 as well: Betsy became extratropical a day before Esther became a hurricane). Geez!

Quite. And according to Hurricane Juan the hurricane that hit Nova Scotia did so as a category 3. Quite unusual...this may be the most eventful season on record. Jdorje 05:01, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Ennnh, it's got some competitian, 1886, 1950, 1955, 1961, 1966, 1998, last year, and this year.

[edit] Todo

Structure, fix wikification, etc. Lots of work to do here. Jdorje 00:27, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Low importance?

I think this article should be at least mid-mportance or even high-importance, just because there were two really deadly hurricanes. That is just my opinion. (RaNdOm26 10:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC))

I marked it as a mid, though high class could certainly work. It had 4 simultaneous hurricanes (1 of 2 times in history), a hurricane struck New York City, and the two deadly canes. However, only the most active season on record in each basin is listed as high, currently. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
